Your payer is.

Technically, 36247 does need a 51 modifier since there are 2 surgical "procedures". Most payers don't require the 51, but some do.

75726-26 is included in 37204 unless it meets the guidelines for a separate diagnostic study as outlined in the CPT guidelines. If it meets those guidelines, then modifier -59 is required to indicate that it is a separate diagnostic angiogram.
